Cheap Guys and date excuses

Ok so nothing in the recent has inspired this.... just a conversation with a coworker of mine sparked my desire to want to write this. One day I will write a book on the crazy dates I have had. the sad part is... i really have enough material for a best seller. The pediatrist obessesed with me is enough for a lifetime movie shoot!

Anyways so the girl i sit next to at work and i are always being silly and saying dumb excuses we would just love to give a guy for why we cant see them that night...

Like:
"Sorry i have to wash my hair"
"I have to relace my shoes"

and if you really wanted to get rid of them "I have to wax my back" BAHAHAHAHA

I had this guy in college who tried to take me out almost everyday. Mind you I had 3 jobs, a hectic school schedule and still tried to maintain some sort of social life ( i basically didnt sleep) and he said to me one day, " Gosh when are you not going to be so busy?"

I desperately wanted to respond, " um for you i will probably be busy the rest of my life...sorry!"
So our silly excuses (trust me we have lots more) brought up a conversation about how some boys/men have NO CLUE... either that or they are just retarded and/or cheap.....

I'm not gonna get specific cus you never know who might read this and while I am a blunt and honest person i dont want to hurt anyone's feelings.

So pet peeve of mine... guy invites you to dinner and a movie. Cool, fun times.... However, you get to dinner and its a sandwich place, think subway, wich wich etc... That sort of thing is fine with me. I love a good sandwich and i'm not high maintenance. However, dont invite me somewhere cheap and then you be cheap in the end. I am not the girl who orders food and then steps to the side and just waits for you to order and to pay. I can pay for my own stuff so after i order i am gonna take out my card to at least offer. To me, a polite gentlemen who invited me on a date would kindly say, " oh dont worry about it em i got it. i invited you"
Sadly enough this was not the case with a few guys i have encountered. Not even on a $3 whatachicken sandwich.
now if money was tight i understand, thats cool, however, when you know that money is not tight for that person.... you end up looking like a cheap jackass with no chivalry whatso ever.

It even extends beyond cheap food.... i wish i could be heartless and just tell specific incidences that would probably make most of you laugh and some of you cry cus you're THAT GUY!!!!

So boys... if you invite a girl out, no matter how cheap or how expensive. If you expect to go Dutch just say something. I'd like to think Chivalry is not dead however cheapo's like you are making it hard to believe in that dream.
